Adrenal Stress Panel

Adrenal Stress Panels by Sabre Sciences

The Adrenal Stress panel provides a reliable stress marker, revealing adrenal imbalances.

Changes in circulating levels of cortisol and DHEA-SO4 indicate shifts in adrenal function that can affect an individual's energy, disease resistance, and emotional state.

The adrenal hormones, cortisol and DHEA-SO4, are directly involved in the body's growth, immune response, and cardiovascular function.

Cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, depression, and osteoporosis are some of the conditions that result from adrenal hormone imbalance. They affect carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism, act as anti-inflammatory agents, modulate thyroid function, and help in stress related conditions.

The Adult Adrenal Stress Panel examines 6 samples for cortisol and 3 samples for DHEA-SO4.

A pre-paid collection kit may be obtained from the laboratory.

The cost of this panel is $95.00 US + shipping.

The adolescent (ages 8-14) Adrenal Stress Panel examines 6 samples for cortisol and 3 samples for DHEA-SO4.

The cost is $95.00 US + shipping.

The pediatric (ages 0-7) Adrenal Stress Panel examines 5 samples for cortisol. The 4AM cortisol and all DHEA-SO4 samples are not required.

The cost of this panel is $70.00 US + shipping.

Sample Collection Times

• Cortisol is collected at 8AM, Noon, 4PM, 8PM, Midnight, and 4AM.
• DHEA-SO4 is collected at 8AM, 8PM, and Midnight.

Female Circadian Panel

The Female Circadian Panel is designed to give the physician a snapshot of the current hormonal status over a 24hour period. This panel should be used as a screening resource when the physician needs to have immediate information. Cycling women need to include the calendar menses day along with time of day the specimen is taken for proper laboratory reference range matching.

The Female Circadian Panel examines 6 samples for cortisol, 3 samples for DHEA-SO4, 4 samples for melatonin and 1 sample for estradiol, progesterone and testosterone.

A prepaid collection kit is available from the laboratory.

The cost of this panel is $195.00 US + shipping.

Sample Collection Times

• Estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are collected at 8AM.
• Cortisol is collected at 8AM, Noon, 4PM, 8PM, Midnight, and 4AM.
• DHEA is collected at 8AM, 8PM, and Midnight.
• Melatonin is collected at 8AM, 8PM, Midnight, and 4AM.

Female Hormone Panel

Both PMS sufferers and postmenopausal women usually experience significant health changes. Many of the conditions associated with PMS and menopause can be corrected with natural replacement and/or nutritional therapies.

The key to successful supplementation is assessing the individual by performing baseline and follow up evaluation of their hormonal status. Only by pre and post replacement evaluation can one accurately bring the body into "hormonal balance".

The Female Hormone Panel examines 7 samples for estradiol and progesterone, 1 sample for testosterone, 6 samples for cortisol, 4 samples for melatonin and 3 samples for DHEA-SO4, collected at designated days and times.

This allows adrenal stress, circadian and cyclic evaluation since PMS and menopause can affect cortisol, DHEA, and melatonin levels.

A prepaid collection kit is available from the laboratory.

The cost of this comprehensive profile is $275.00 US + shipping.

New cycle definition

For cycling (menstruating) women your new cycle begins the day your bleeding starts. For menopausal women day 2 is the day you start collecting your samples.

Sample Collection Times

• Estradiol and progesterone are collected at 8AM on days 2,10,12,14,16,18 and 24 of the cycle.
• Cortisol is collected on day 2 at 8AM, Noon, 4PM, 8PM, Midnight, and 4AM.
• DHEA is collected on day 2 at 8AM, 8PM, and Midnight.
• Melatonin is collected on day 2 at 8AM, 8PM, Midnight, and 4AM.
• Testosterone is collected on day 2 at 8AM.

Male Hormone Panel

The Male Hormone Panel examines 1 sample for progesterone and estradiol, 6 samples for cortisol, 4 samples for melatonin, 4 samples for testosterone, and 3 samples for DHEA-SO4. All samples are collected throughout the same day and at designated times. This allows for adrenal stress and melatonin circadian evaluation.

A prepaid collection kit is available from the laboratory.

The cost of this comprehensive profile is $195.00 US + shipping.

Sample Collection Times

• Testosterone is collected at 8AM, noon, 8PM, and midnight.
• Progesterone and estradiol are collected at 8AM.
• Cortisol is collected at 8AM, Noon, 4PM, 8PM, Midnight, and 4AM.
• DHEA is collected at 8AM, 8PM, and Midnight. Melatonin is collected at 8AM, 8PM, Midnight, and 4AM.
